It's also been a little more than fourteen years since that informal interview with your mother took place, David. She basically said that you've always been as you are now; that is, she said you've been manipulative, self-centered, and attention-seeking since your youth. She also said that she is ashamed of you, and hates who you grew up to be. My favorite part of that interview, was when she spoke of how (as a high school student) you got kicked out of the very Bible Club that you'd started. How ironic is that? It's not surprising, though, and it explains a lot, in terms of explaining, in part, why it is that you are so ruthless about expelling others from your group. You got kicked out of a group that you started once, and it's as if you want to be sure that that will never happen again. Hell, David, you kicked your own son and his family out of the group, on Good Friday in April of 1996. That was "the Split" and you expelled about a dozen members that time. In the rain, too. Damn, that's cold. You are an evil man, David, and you have tried your damndest to silence me over the years but I refuse to be silenced. I'll be watching, and will be waiting for you to leave this world until you do so.
